Hi @honda

I have never heard of such a thing. I honestly don’t know what to say about it. Very strange.

One thing I can say is that the fact that you felt calm when you were on the Dexedrine is pretty much definite proof you have ADHD. And, imho, you probably don’t have an anxiety disorder. But I’m not a doctor, so don’t quote me on that. It doesn’t add up though. A stimulant should not make you calmer if you have severe anxiety. I’m wondering of the anxiety is actually more a symptom of the ADHD rather than a separate disorder. (again, not a doctor, just speculating)

Maybe try asking your doctor to prescribe a non-stimulant medication? There are some that are used to treat ADHD. And if it’s not a stimulant, there shouldn’t be an issue. Other than that, all I can think is, find another doctor.
